ly summoned TO one OF the cells by an excited pris-
oner on Thursday. 'He swallowed knife -

was struggling and choking terribly and be-
gan to vomit blood. The turnkey could see no

with some food and had disappeared the officer
concluded the other prisoners story was true and
the sufferer was at once taken to the Allegheny
general hospital.

began 10 search for the missing knife. Peering
down the mans throat one OF the physicians dis
covered the handle OF the knife and by the use OF

lowed. The knife was silver plated and about six
inches in length. 1t had been introduced with
blade foremost. The man became unconscious
shortly after tile knife was removed. When he
recovered he was removed 10 padded CELL The
physicians were unable to determine the extent OF
the injury in the throat.
The man, who persistently refused to give his

4 YOUNG NAN WHO WAS SOOTHING AT A RELIGIOUS
MEETING.
telegram from WilkeSbarre, Pa. February 9,
says: Harry Edwards, well-known young man OF
this city, has met with great misfortune He de-
cided last Christmas that he would neither smoke
nor chew tobacco and would abstain from all in
toxicants and reform generally. He put his good
resolutions into effect by Joining the Salvation
Army. There was great rejoicing over bis con-
version and the young convert was held up as an
example for others to follow. Up to the LIST OF
February Edwards was an earnest worker in the
ranks OF the army. but on that date he fell from
grace and returned to his old way OF living All
efforts on the part Of the captain and lieutenants
OF the army to reclaim the sinner were unavailing
On Sunday evening last Harry visited the Saliva
ton Army barracks and took front seat. The
army prayed for him and the prodigal son recip-
captains said 1t Was the laugh Of the xpnbelever.
Suddenly Edwards was seen to put hts hands up
to bis eyes. His friends who occupied seats near
him asked what was the matter. Edwards replied,
son, am blind; can't see. Take me home"
Sure enough the man was sightleSS and picture
q terror. He was taken to his home and
physician summoned, but the latter was poweress
case. A delegation from the army visited Edwards
house to-day and prayed for him.

Important to Hop Growers.

Prof. Riley, the entomologist of the
Department of Agriculture at Washing
ton, has made public the result of an ex-
haustive personal investigation into the
habits of the phOrOdon humuI, or hop
louise. Before the professors investiga-
ton it was not known how or where the
insect survived the winter. AS result
of his inquiries the professor has salts
fed himself that the eggs laid by the fe-
male at the close of the summer are de-
posted in plum trees, where the insect
matches in the spring and resides until
the third generation. This third brood,
unlike its predecessors, is winged, and
Immediately after development abandons
the plum tree and attacks the hop vine.
In the autumn a counter migration from
the hop vine to the plum tree occurs,
the winter eggs are deposited, and the
cycle of life goes on i'll the same fashion.
The professor believes that the fohOrOdon
humuli has been brought to this country
from Europe on plum stock. These dis
coveries render it possible to check the
ravages of the pest, either by the use of
insecticides in the spring time before
the insect has reached the winged state,
or by the destruction of the sheltering
plum trees.

Prof. Fowler, the phrenologist, and a
young student, i'll whom the Professor
took great interest, were travelling on q

George" said the Prof, sis the most
important of all studies. A man may
know all history and may be great
scientist, but unless he understands
character be is at the mercy of the
world. Without a knowledge of phreno-
logy it is impossible to get q good idea
of character, but with that knowledge
character is spread out rs printed

He tries to dress like man of the world

"Much more comfortable in a sleeper" !"
said the old fellow.
"What business are you in?' the Pro
fessor asked, again winking at his young
companion.

the old fellow, ''and am taking the first
day off I've had for five years, "
The Professor glanced at his young
companion, but did not wink.

The Grant Relics.

The Grant relics, which have been for
several months safely guarded in one of
the private rooms of the National Mu-
scum at Washington, are now on public
exhibition. Recently, two handsome
plush-lined cases, filled with articles
from the collection, were placed in the
north hall of the museum, near the main
entrance. They contained the presen-
tation swords, gold-headed canes, cask-
cts, medallions, and many other costly
and elegant articles presented by differ
ent people at differes.st times to Gn-eral

There is a splendid collection of Japan
ese coins, one series of seven pieces, old
Japanese gold coins of huge size, being
valued at $1,000. There are also invita-
ton cards, menu cards, and reminders
of entertainments given in his honor,
engrossed on gold plates. One invita-
tion card to masked ball given at San

and was enclosed in a silver envelope,
with the address engraved upon it. In

The articles shown, besides their histor-
ical interest, are of great intrinsic value.

GIRLS, CONTROL YOUR TEMPERS.
A Bride who Became so Angry that
She Went Insane.

(From the City of Mexico Two Republics.)
One of the prettiest girls of Zacatecas
belonging to one of the best families iii
the State, has just been admitted to the
insane asylum in that city, hopeless
maniac. Born the daughter of wealthy
parents, an only child, she vas in
dulged in everything, and in conse-
quence her naturally sweet disposition
was thoroughly spoiled, and whenever
an attempt was made to cross her wishes
she had the most frightful outbursts of
temper, which always ended in all
around her yielding and allowing her to
carry her point. On the 4th of March
of the present year she was married to a
wealthy young haciendada whose extern
sive place is located near Zacatecas. The
wedding was a grand affair, and the
young couple started life together with
the brightest possible prospects. Soon
after marriage, however, there arose
slight disputes between husband and
wife, which ended, as had been the case
all through the girls life, in her favor,
the husband, a high-spirited man, yield
ing invariabiy V before her awful fits of
violence. This finally, however, became
uncomfortable to the young married man
and he determined to break his wife's
frightful temper and assert his manhood,
trusting that they would live more hap
PLY together in the end.
So upon the next occasion when there
arose a difference of opinion on some
trifiing matter he remained firm and ut
terly refused to yield his point. His
wife stormed and flew into perfect
storm of passion, but he remained un-
moved, and finally when the exhibition
of temper was assuming phase where
the young woman commenced breaking
the breakfast dishcs-they were at their
morning meal when the trouble arose
in the impOtency of her wrath, he
clutched her tightly by the arm and in
rough tone insisted that she should
quiet down. She gave him one awful
look; then with wild shrek she tore
herself from his grip, and, moving away
a few steps, fell to the ground foaming
at the mouth. Medical aid was at once
summoned, bnt for hours she lay uucon-
scious, occasionally struggling violently,
and then relapsing into quietncss again.
After awhile she opened her eyes, took
a long look around upon the people
gathered about her bed, and with
blood-curdling shrek sprang from the
bed, and, before any one could prevent
her, was out of the house and racing
madly over the fields. All present gave
chase, and after long, exhausting run,
the mad woman was overtaken by her
husband and held fast until assistance
arrived. The best medical aid procura-
bile was obtained for her, but her reason
remained in darkness, and the physi-
clans predict there is no hope for her
recovery.

The Story Of a Diamond.

1t seems that fairies are still to be met
with in Ireland, if we may credit the
story which Mr. Doyle tells of his friend
Mrs. Brooke. The family lived on the
banks of LOugh Erne, where pearls OF
more or less value are found, as they are
at places in England Mrs. Brooke
took to collecting these pearls; the chill
dren from the neighboring villages got
into the habit of bringing her any that
were picked up, receiving in return a
shilling OF two for their find.
One day little girl arrived from a
greater distance than usual, offering not
a pearl, but a pebble. Mrs. Brooke,
who was only seeking after pearls, dc
clined to buy it. Shortly afterward the
butler, a good-naturcd man, came up
and suggested she should change her
mind.
''The little girl, he said, ''has had a
very long walk, and is crying bitterly at
having to go homo cmpty-landed. "
ooh, very well, " said Mrs. Brooke,
''take the stone and give the child what
she asks for it.
This he did. A month or two after
ward, friend, a great traveller, who
the pebble for some time, broke out
thus: "Do you know, if | were i'll
Brazil, I should be certain that i'll that
bit of stone you had got hold of a real
diamond"
The bit of stone was submitted to a
competent jeweler i'll Dublin, who en-
tirely confirmed this suspicion; and the
Lough Erne pebble is now set i'll one of
Mrs Brooke's diamond rings. Unluck-
lily, all traces of the little girl and her
whereabouts had been lost. Y0utts
